Why would the following for Harfbuzz and FreeType create confusion?
GLib-2.44.1, ICU-55.1, (FreeType-2.5.5, Harfbuzz-0.9.40, FreeType-2.5.5)
note: Install Freetype before and after installing Harfbuzz.
Which-2.21, (FreeType-2.5.5, Harfbuzz-0.9.40, FreeType-2.5.5), and
libpng-1.6.17 note: Install Freetype before and after installing
Harfbuzz.
Harfbuzz/FreeType seem unique as they sandwich packages and use
different language to describe the same thing. IMHO, listing (FreeType,
Harfbuzz, FreeType) with an explanatory note would be clearer and
certainly more consistent. Parenthesis could be optional and the note
could be reworded. I also assume install means configure, make, make
install but I realize people can read things differently.
Just my take and a simple suggestion. I sympathize with the current
wording as I realize Harfbuzz and FreeType are perhaps unique and harder
to explain relative to the other packages.
